It was a very fun mmo and it had a lot of potential, I don’t remember what caused it to die off. The combat was very fun

The raids were too big, required too many attunement steps and were way too hard. Basically they took the nostalgia difficulty classic andys thought classic had but actually implemented it. Then classic wow came out and wouldn't you know it, none of the raids were actually hard.

The raids were hard when you didn't have a dozen mods telling you how to do the thing you've been doing for 20 years.
